I am a writer of fiction and a sometimes poet, a student of history, philosophy, religion, a fan of physics, an Air Force veteran and an escapee from the corporate grind, but mostly I am an aging Santa Claus.

U.S. completes strikes on Iran nuclear sites, Trump says...
Tell me again why America is supporting a violent Israeli regime in its war against Iran when Israel is clearly the belligerent in the conflict. And there's that death toll in Gaza to consider. Go ahead, I'll wait.

As part of the writing process, after writing a detailed description, I drop it into the AI and to see my words visualized, perhaps for a reference graphic. And no, I won't use AI for text. That's just lazy writing!

It's not surprising that a coward like shin-splints would insult the sacrifice made by our active duty military. Every American should be disgusted.

The blue jay had no ID, no green card (possibly Canadian), and no proof of residency. It didn't even speak English! However, since I'm not MAGAt, I didn't turn him in to the ICE Gestapo, but felt ethically compelled to set him free.
Live long, do good, and fuck the fascists!

"America will not put up with it for much longer!" says the village idiot.
The crazy train is full throttle towards a ruined trestle, the engineer is blind, and we are trapped onboard, naught but "fellow-passengers to the grave".
Lines are being drawn and we are caught in the undertow of history yet to be made. A dark future full of existential dread is being created by those who exist only to disrupt and destroy our comfortable world.

I agree completely. If you want to survive writing professionally, check your ego at the door and let your creation be your fulfillment and joy. Writing isn't about what others want from you, but what you intrinsically need to share with the world.
